Why mediate?
There are many advantages to mediation
Cost
Mediation avoids costly legal bills associated with going to trial.
Time
Lawsuits can take years to resolve. Mediations can take mere hours.
Confidentiality
What the parties say during a mediation remains confidential and is not subject to admissibility in a future trial. Court cases are public record.
Communication
Parties communicate directly with one another, rather than through their lawyers. Attorneys may still represent clients at mediation.
Party Agreement
The parties decide on the agreement rather than a judge or a jury making all decisions.
Non-Binding
Mediation encourages the parties to exercise self-determination. Once the parties are in court, they lose control of the process.

What To Expect
Mediation is a streamlined process to get the parties to come to a mutual agreement. The mediator will explain the rules, the parties will have the opportunity to speak individually to present their understanding of the issue at hand, the mediator will ask questions to gain a better understanding of the matter, the mediator will help the parties negotiate an amenable agreement and the parties may sign a written document agreeing to the terms.
